Childhood anxiety doesn't always look like "worry." It looks like a child refusing to go to school, a teen stuck in a loop of "checking" and "perfectionism," or a family that has shrunk its world to avoid a meltdown. At PPG, we don’t just "talk" about anxiety—we give your child the tools to outsmart it. We help your family move from a state of avoidance to a state of brave, active living.
Clinical methods
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): The gold standard for identifying the "bossy thoughts" and replacing them with "brave thoughts."
- ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention): The specialized, protocol-driven treatment for Pediatric OCD. We help kids learn they can handle the "uncomfortable feeling" without having to do the ritual.
- The SPACE Protocol: A unique, parent-based program (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) that helps parents reduce the "accommodations" that accidentally keep anxiety growing.
- Play-Based Exposure: For younger children, we use games and creative play to practice being "brave" in low-stakes environments.
How specialties work together at PPG
- The PPG Difference: Anxiety is a family affair. If your child is struggling, your marriage or your own stress levels are likely feeling the heat.
"At PPG, your child’s therapist can consult with our in-house couples therapists or adult specialists. We ensure the parents are supported just as much as the child, creating a unified 'shield' against the anxiety cycle."
